Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of detection, in particular to a detection unit, an ultra-wideband light detector and a detection method.
Background
The optical detector can convert an optical signal into an electrical signal, and further detect the optical power incident on the surface of the optical detector. The ultra-wideband photodetector can simultaneously detect electromagnetic wave radiation of different wave bands, such as ultraviolet, visible light, infrared and even terahertz waves, and has very important functions in a plurality of fields such as infrared imaging, remote sensing, environment monitoring, astronomical detection, spectral analysis and the like. However, due to the limitation of photosensitive materials, the current optical detector can only work in a specific waveband, the ultra-wide spectrum detection at the present stage is realized by integrating detection methods of different wavebands and ensuring that all parts work synchronously, and the biggest problem of the method is that the device structure is very complicated and is difficult to be applied to practice. Therefore, ultra-wideband optical detection from terahertz to ultraviolet by using a single device becomes a research hotspot at present.
Based on WSe, subject to the size of the material's own band gap2(see Kim H S, Chauhan K R, Kim J, ethyl. Flexible variable amplitude oxide for branched band transparent photodectector [ J]Applied Physics Letters,2017,110(10):101907.), Bi single crystal (see Yao J D, Shao J M, YangG W.ultra-broad and high-responsiveness photodetectors base on biosmuthfilmat room temperature[J].Scientific Reports,2015,5:12320.),MoS2(see Xie Y, Zhang B, Wang S, et al. ultrabroadband MoS2Photodetector with Spectral Response from445 to 2717nm[J]Advanced Materials,2017,29(17): 1605972) and black phosphorus (see Xie Y, Zhang B, Wang S, et al2Photodetector with Spectral Responsefrom 445 to 2717nm[J]The detectors of Advanced Materials,2017,29(17): 1605972) can only realize broadband detection of ultraviolet to infrared bands mostly, and are difficult to cover terahertz bands. Graphene and topological insulators have a dirac cone energy band structure and are considered as pets for realizing ultra-wideband optical detection. Unfortunately, for graphene, the light absorption of single-layer graphene is only 2.3%, which makes the responsivity of graphene detector only a few mV/W (CN 107104167 a). For topological insulators, only the surface has a dirac cone structure, and the problem of low absorption is also faced. In addition, the zero band gap structure enables the light detection dark current based on graphene and a topological insulator to be large, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the device is seriously influenced. Despite the existence of Graphene heterojunction (see high selectivity, Gate-Tunable, from-Temperature Mid-isolated photon depletion site on Graphene-Bi)2Se3Heterostructure), topological insulator heterojunction (see Yao, j.; shao, j.; wang, y.; zhao, z.; yang, G.ultra-broad and hightresponse of the Bi2Te3-Si heterojunction and its applications a photoresist detector from temperature in research environment, nanoscale 2015,7,12535 and 12541), and graphene detectors with three-dimensional microtube structure (CN107394001A), which either require additional bias or introduce a relatively complicated fabrication process, both of which restrict the practical application of the device. In summary, an ultra-wide spectrum detector with a detection bandwidth covering from terahertz to ultraviolet needs to be further researched.
